The Michelle Obama tapes to be aired any day/time from now: API and Fox News Network (USA) in a final agreement on the airing days/time. Posted by africanpress on October 29, 2008
A final agreement has been reached between African Press International (API) and Fox News Network (USA) on the dates to air the Michelle Obama tape arising from a discussion Mrs Obama had with the API two weeks ago. The show will take place any day/time from now, with a 15 minutes alert on when it is to take place. Other programmes will be interrupted. This is a precaution taken to avoid interference from any quarter.
In the agreement, Fox News Network will broadcast 39 minutes of the 54 minutes long tape. The whole tape cannot be aired unedited due to security reasons and especially due to the explosive political temperature in the country because of the Presidential elections that is just around the corner, November 4th.
The tape will be aired in two portions by two separate units in the Network. API’s representative will appear live in one of the shows.
The parties have agreed that the information to be released to the public on the agreement will not include the naming of the units at Fox News Network that will air the tapes in order to avoid outside pressure and influence of any kind before the show has taken place. Nondisclosure of the name of the shows that will air the tapes has become necessary due to pressure from groups interested to block the release of the contents to the public.
Due to a huge interest in the tapes shown by some private individuals, groups belonging to some political camp(s) and persons connected to a section of an intelligence network, it has been decided that the 54 minutes long unedited tape is to be kept outside the United States in safe custody of one of API’s Lawyers based in Ontario, Canada.
The day and time schedules of the broadcast will only be announced 15 minutes before the Show begins in order to avoid attempts to block the Show from airing the tapes.
Any pressure from any outside forces that may want to know the exact day and time schedule of the Show before-hand or any other details in the agreement will get no answers to their requests either from API or Fox News Network.
The decision to have the above information public was a difficult one due to the sensitivity of the case and huge interest against, and for, the release of the contents of the tape for public consumption.
Holding my breath here...
I won’t hold my breath. Too many promises like this is bad for our side if they don’t get materialized.
*Yawn*
Okay Korir!
Five, Four, Three, don’t make me count to one!
Now!
Everyday it sounds more and more like a Nigerian scam!
Just send me the $30 million bucks and SHUT THE HELL UP!!
What?!?!
HEYYYY I’m watching the great pumpkin RIGHT NOW!
I’m in the “I’ll believe it when I see it” group. However, one would think that if Fox News hasn’t been working with API to get the tapes, they would have already come out and made an announcement saying that API is lying.
If this weren’t true, don’t you think Fox News would be denying this?
I have no way of confirming it with Fox....
Should we doubt him? I’m praying that it’s true but don’t want my bubble bursted. The fact he’s mentioned an agreement with Foxnews makes me feel they would raise cane if what he says is a lie.
This is satire, right?
Where is the Victor Mature photo?
So, they are leaving out 15 minutes. I hope that is not all the GOOD stuff! Probably, though. Just 39 minutes of Moochelle whining.
I think they agreed to air it a week from tomorrow.
LOL!
Phillip Berg has been interviewed by FOX news as well. Not sure when they intend to air though.
